Robustness in the Context of Autonomous Cooperating Logistic Processes: A Sustainability Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous cooperating logistic processes seem to be a promising approach to increase the robustness of logistics systems. Searching for the necessary organizational prerequisites for the successful implementation and sustainment of autonomous cooperating logistic processes we pick up the concept of robustness and use the New Systems Theory to outline a notion of organizational robustness, which can be regarded as an important factor enabling businesses to adopt innovations in spite of related uncertainties.

متن کاملClustering in Autonomous Cooperating Logistic Processes
Due to the growing complexity of logistic processes, “Autonomous Cooperating Logistic Processes” are considered as a way to handle this complexity growth (Scholz-Reiter et al. 2004). In this concept, knowledge and decisions are distributed among the participants of the logistic process. Vehicles and goods become intelligent, interactive, and capable of deciding about how to achieve their aims. ...
متن کاملCompact city dose it create an obligatory context for urban sustainability?
Throughout the early and mid 1990s, there was widespread faith in the compact city model's ability to provide urban sustainability. However, where compact city policies had been implemented, follow-up studies began to show the predicted benefits did not happen as they should be. The article tries to peruse two opposite approaches of "Urban Sprawl" and "Compact City", with an analytical - cri...
